FEAR NOT - 2025FEAR NOT - Collection
Recently, there has been such a viral trend on social media of people saying like, “Oh, this accurate Angel.” (showing an image of a particular order of angels) In 2022 I did a study of celestial beings, and the hierarchy of angles. A lot of the depictions that we have known are actually “biblically accurate”, but the ones that are really funky and weird are the ones people are love to qualify as, “that's biblically accurate, because it's crazy and weird,” those funky angels are indeed biblically accurate but so are some of the typical ones we have seen throughout art history.
Within the appearances of spiritual writings and within the Bible, whenever these beings would visit someone, they would say “Fear not,” because you probably would be incredibly scared if you saw a humongous angel that was, funky looking and other worldly. With this phrase, I wanted to talk about this “fear not,” concept through angels but also the heavenly places in our lives. So I have all these skyscrapers to reference city life, and also the idea of going up high, or ascending somewhere, being close in the clouds. Metaphorically, “Fear Not” is supposed to be this a reference to a heavenly message and going to a heavenly place. This series is the idea of not being afraid of what's meant for us, not being afraid of the heavenly in our lives, not being afraid of glory when it comes in, even we have mental blockades. Instead of letting fear stop you to spiritually to say, “I want to be there, I want to enjoy the view, I want to experience that, but this thing's holding me back.” Sometimes the thing holding you back is just fear.
Pop Angels - 2025Pop Angels - Collection
This collection of work is personal commentary of overcoming fear illustrated through narrative elements of allegory and spiritual confidence.
The women in each painting are painted in the pop art style to evoke a modern take on “Sleighing dragons.” The “dragons” depicted in the paintings are a representation between a snake and a dragon; standing for an allegory of evil and pain in life by referencing the narrative connotations of their presence. The history of "sleighing dragons" primarily refers to the popular legend of Saint George and the Dragon, a story with roots in Byzantine and Western Christian traditions, where a saint, often Saint George, is depicted as saving a princess or city from a dragon by slaying it.
Instead of someone coming to rescue the pop art women from said dragons they begin the process of sleighing it themselves with the help of angels in partnership. The entirety of this series is about overcoming and walking into emotional, phycological, and spiritual wholeness. 
Feminrenaissance / Ezer - Collection 2025
Feminrenaissance / Ezer - Collection
Feminrenaissance / Ezer - Collection of paintings is a series of work exploring renaissance art iconography, personal journey, religious constructs, in a modern and feminine perspective.
Ezer is the Hebrew word "ezer" (עזר), often translated as "helper" or "helpmeet," this word without context has been used many times by the church against women; creating a contract of women being of “help,” when in fact the same word is used in some translations to describe the Holy Spirit itself. Lending the female nature to be in likeness of God’s nature. Therefore the nature of women is powerful and creative in the sense of Ezer or "helpmeet.”
The word Feminrenaissance is a play on Chappell Roan’s song but in an art historical context. A feminine renaissance is suggesting instead of a rejection of the male dominated renaissance this is an embrace of the concepts and beauty produced from the art and religion that culturally drove the time and a reimagining of the visual icons we gain from that time. The term of “Renaissance Man,” is used to describe a jack of all trades, this series unfolds the construct of a “Renaissance Woman.”
Throughout these works I reference feminine stories and subject matter put in the context of renaissance story telling, while also referencing the female old master painters; Elisabetta Sirani and Artemisia Gentileschi. 
CITY OF GOD - 2023-2024
The series of paintings, ‘City of God’, purposely shares a title name for a philosophical book written by St. Augustine of Hippo critiquing the Roman empire through theology and philosophy. The presentation of these New York based paintings is to reference philosophical concepts laid out by Augustine to parallel the issues and cultural standings in New York City to the city of ancient Rome.
What we know about our society is built and maintained by our people. St. Augustine lived in the tailend of the rapidly declining Roman Empire. He criticized Rome’s outlook, values, and culture. The modern west, in particular, New York City, has been commonly compared to ancient Rome in many of the same factors that Augustine criticized.
The fate of a societies values and culture is something that is gradual and central to the livelihood of the citizens. Weighing the similarities of these societies simply for the sake of politics can bring more confusion than it could clarity, yet weighing the philosophical scope of power and culture is always sobering to our sense of justice and values. I think that it is important to note that the criticisms offered by Augustine can apply not only to Rome but to lifestyle and in individual thinking. The structure of a country is built on the values of the powerful. Power becomes right when it's rooted in truth. Like many philosophers Augustine offers essential truths to life and the decisions that surround it.
That being said, my painting series ‘City of God,’ uses a diaristic commentary regarding my New York experiences to inform the weighing of the philosophical, social, spiritual, and political culture of a city. I look at New York culture as not only unto New York but a microcosm of the world. If I can learn from this city I may be able to understand the spiritual structures of all cities; and for that there can be cultural change.
“Accordingly, two cities have been formed by two loves: the earthly by the love of self, even to the contempt of God; the heavenly by the love of God, even to the contempt of self.” ― Augustine of Hippo, City of God
THEOPHANIES - 2022
The presentation of my personal spiritual epiphanies is voiced through my series of paintings entitled, Theophanies. My series takes a diaristic approach to twelve topics, first introduced in the titles of the work, by visually engaging elements of a narrative style image sampling of art historical iconography and modern imagery. The paintings give an empathetic communication to the viewer about personal spiritual epiphany and the creativity in the human experience. I approached the visual aspects of the work as means to collect and portray stories, by utilizing gestural acrylic painting, oil painting, and other mixed mediums. The densely layered compositions are enhanced by contextual display of data, contemplating on personal moments while referencing conversations surrounding my place in painting expression.
